Volunteers needed for Hess Creek Canyon project May 17
George Fox is teaming up with the Newberg community to organize a SOLV-sponsored work day in Hess Creek Canyon on Saturday, May 17. Work crews will meet from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and assignments will include digging two fish swales, removing ivy (no poison oak is present), creating a link between trails, and spreading gravel.
Participants will meet in the Wheeler/Le Shana parking lot, where they will be assigned to a work team. The Newberg Rotary is providing about 100 volunteers, and Clyde Thomas (Plant Services) is seeking university volunteers who would be willing to join them.
Also, there is a need for about 10 individuals to be team leaders. It would involve a half-hour of orientation prior to May 17, either individually or as a group.
